Situated on prime pub territory opposite Olympia Exhibition Hall, it's safe to say this place will never be short of customers when there's a trade fair or conference on across the road. Owned by <a...

Sister pub to the Atlas (which is beside Earl's Court), the Cumberland Arms offers one of your best bets for a drink near to Olympia. Like its sibling, the Cumberland is a sensitive gastro conversion - an oxymoron to some, but...

Feeling distinctly local and pretty empty when we were in last, the Fox & Hounds had a refurbishment a while back which still shows. Attached to a nearby council block in this otherwise Victorian area, it seems to have...

Any place that has a pie of the week is brilliant, in our book. Having changed hands not too long ago, we were worried the pub may have taken a turn for the worst - we were wrong. It's a good pub, with a fairly traditional...

The Havelock was one of the earliest gastropub conversions and aside from closing after fire damage in 2005, this one hasn't really altered much in the decade or so since opening. It sticks by the original gastropub rule of...

Lost in the suburban no-mans land between Shepherd's Bush and Hammersmith, we stumbled across this reputable establishment. It's a small place, with a separate dining area next door, but there's a homely feel about the place,...

Though maybe not the first pub in London to have its own Thai restaurant, Latymers is certainly one of the best, both for quality, service and value for money. The pub itself is late 80s modern and a bit too shiny for our...

A small Young's pub with an even smaller beer garden, this one has all the attributes of your archetypal friendly community pub, complete with long-suffering locals and has so far escaped the upgrade machine. The beer's all...

This one's proved to be a safe bet over the years, managing to exist as a popular Young's house whilst the nearby pubs in Brook Green evolved into gastropubs. However, this one's now received its Young's upgrade and the result...

Definitely a locals pub, this (slightly grotty) corner pub is still friendly enough. The public bar was lively, with a high percentage of OAPs last time we were in. It does a reasonable pint of Guinness, but that's about it....

This pub offers the sort of old world experience one would expect in this neck of the woods and the Scarsdale Arms is a cut above most of the nearby pubs. The darkened interior evokes a genuine atmosphere, as does the...

Can't find a pub showing the match? Don't give up and go home until you've tried here. With about 15 different screens and feeds from sports channels across the globe it's a pretty fair bet they'll be showing your game of...

Another addition to the Geronimo stable, which is no bad thing - if anything, it's better than it was before. In a lot of ways, it's feels more like a country pub set in a pleasant back street near Baron's Court, particularly...

The immediate area around Hammersmith tube isn't a happy hunting ground for pubs but the Laurie Arms is certainly one of your better bets. Once an old one room Irish boozer, it's now a brightly lit bar with an airy conservatory...

Well, it's smaller inside than we both expected and remember - it's not much bigger than a sitting room. Decorated around the several TVs with black and white photos ranging from Chaplin, to Marilyn, to Jimi, to the Beatles and...

With such a rustic name you may expect a preserved 18th Century inn. Out of luck, for this is - bluntly - a pub in a shopping centre. Handy enough if you need to meet someone at Hammersmith tube, and the place does it's best...

Formerly a sticky-carpeted dive known as the George, this place has reopened and has been reinvented as a sports bar that claims to have attitude. We'll check it out some time and let you know what we think.
